Worst accommodation I've ever stayed at
Pros:

Air conditioning was lovely. Convenient location close to shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Booked 2 nights here after searching everywhere else (weeks in advance), and got desperate.
The bathroom was not only outdated but the shower curtain was actually mouldy and the grouting for the tiles was feral. The shower itself was difficult to regulate and wouldn't keep a consistent temperature.
The room had no reading/bedside lamps, so relaxing at night without a soft reading lamp was difficult.
Bed was hard and uncomfortable. And most annoying of all was the terrible noise from traffic. I barely slept the two nights we were there. I was actually really scared that the hoon drivers would come crashing through the window at 2am.
0/10 - do not recommend. Not worth the price at all. Will happily never return.
